In pancreatic cancer, neuroblastoma, and glioblastoma xenograft models, CAR T cells incorporating the lead human binder Y111 were well tolerated and demonstrated superior antitumor activity compared with 376.96- and MGA271-based CARs. Y111 CAR treatment induced complete responses, tumor rejection, and significant survival benefits, identifying Y111 as a promising fully human B7-H3 CAR for solid tumors.
B7-H3 is expressed on a high proportion of pediatric solid tumors. While enoblituzumab could be safely administered at a weekly dose of 15 mg/kg, no objective tumor responses were observed. Alternative strategies to target B7-H3 in children with relapsed solid tumors should be considered.
